Chapter 296: Discovery
Hearing Pei Qian's voice that couldn't hide some excitement, several generals glanced at each other and all came up in unison.
Pei Qian carefully knocked on the partition again. After confirming that the sound of this partition was indeed inconsistent with the surrounding sounds, he finally made a decision.
There must be something wrong with this partition!
With Pei Qian's strength alone, there is naturally no way to shake this partition. What's more, there is a problem with this partition itself, and it must have been carefully processed by the person behind the scenes, or in other ways, the partition is not so easy to expose. Otherwise, once their secret passage is exposed, won't all their previous efforts be wasted?
Pei Qian's mood at this moment can indeed be described as ecstatic, and it is not an exaggeration at all.
He meditated here for a few days, but nothing came of it. Moreover, he has to face the eyes of several generals who seem to have no disgust, which makes the proud Pei Qian, how can he bear it?
Today, he finally raised his eyebrows!
Pei Qian believed that as long as they found this secret passage, they would still have a chance to recover the stolen grain!
Now the key is to see where this secret passage leads.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian turned his head and instructed directly to several generals: "Please help, this prince wants to push this partition open, there must be a secret passage inside." ”
When Lu Fei heard this, he couldn't care so much at the moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and said as he approached: "Although the second prince commanded, as long as he can retrieve that batch of grain and grass, his subordinates can do anything!" ”
Pei Qian was obviously very satisfied with their attitude. But he also knew that everything was because of that batch of grain and grass. But now is not the time to pursue these.
After Lu Fei and several people approached the partition, they obeyed Pei Qian's command, and put their hands on the spare part of the partition, firmly grasped the partition, and tried to pull the partition out.
Several generals, plus Pei Qian, under Pei Qian's orders, worked together.
There was a dull sound from the partition, but it only moved slightly for half a minute, almost negligible. The strength of several generals is naturally not small, but they didn't expect that several people worked hard together, and they didn't move this partition in the slightest.
This partition is too hard.
At least, it's harder than they think.
Lu Fei glanced at each other, and they all saw a trace of suspicion in each other's eyes.
Is there really a secret passage behind this partition? If so, why didn't the partition move? After all, these partitions were all designed back then, how could there be a secret passage among them?
If so, why don't they know?
Pei Qian looked at the expressions of several great generals, and he immediately knew that these people didn't believe that behind this partition was a secret passage. After all, these partitions are actually connected together, and if you want to open one of them, you must knock off the partition next to it, which adds up to some complications.
Pei Qian glanced at the partition they pushed just now, why did it not move at all, the partition next to it was against it, how could it be pushed open?
However, now he does not allow his ideas to be questioned!
This partition is obviously different, how can it be a coincidence?
Pei Qian couldn't care about being angry at the moment, he pointed to the partition and explained: "This partition can't be pushed away by just a few of us. Because the partitions next to them, although they don't seem to be fully connected, they have actually blocked the partition, and if this partition wants to be pushed open, the partitions next to it must be knocked off. ”
Lu Fei and the others looked carefully at the place Pei Qian pointed to, and indeed found that something was wrong.
The partitions next to each other have a little gap between them, and if you look closely, you can still see it. But this partition, and the partitions next to it, were almost clinging to it, as if it were going to be stuck there.
No wonder they wasted so much effort and didn't push this partition for half a minute.
Now that the two princes have spoken, several generals have also noticed some problems at this moment, and the suspicions in their hearts have suddenly weakened a lot. Yes, now is not the time to think nonsense, since you have found a problem, you must investigate it first, and then it is not too late to draw conclusions.
The general's orders are always the quickest and most effective.
Upon understanding the origin of the matter, several of the great generals immediately called in some soldiers with several sharp axes in their hands.
Under Pei Qian's gaze, several generals commanded these soldiers with axes in an orderly manner, and directly knocked out the few partitions that were close to them.
The soldier raised the axe in his hand, pointed it against the partitions, and struck it with all his strength.
"Smack-" The axe made a somewhat screeching sound as it touched the iron plate.
The partitions, though sturdy, were powerless against the sharper axes, and they almost cracked.
There was a "crackling" sound, and the partition shattered into several pieces and fell to the floor with a somewhat crisp sound.
After several soldiers broke the partition, they all stood in place, waiting for the general's orders.
After Pei Qian saw the partitions shattered, he waved his hand at Lu Fei and a few people, pointed to the partition and said, "Try it now, this partition should be able to be pushed open." ”
The generals nodded and instructed the soldiers, "You guys, go ahead and push this partition open." Be careful, you don't know what's inside. ”
Speaking of which, several generals are also very cautious. They are not like Pei Qian, they just want to open the partition at the moment and see if there is a secret passage behind it.
If it is really a secret passage behind it, as the second prince said, then this whole thing is worth reconsidering.
The fact that someone has built a secret passage right under their noses already says a lot in itself.
Is there a spy among them?
A few people suddenly didn't dare to think about it, and at the moment, the most important thing is to take a look at the back of this partition, whether it is really as they expected, there is really a secret passage.
Several soldiers obeyed the general's orders, put their axes aside, and then stood next to the partition, holding the partition around it with some care. The partition clings to the wall, looking as if it is standing, and the few partitions around it do not seem to affect it after they fall.
Several other soldiers, at Lu Fei's signal, raised their long swords and also stood next to the partition, surrounding the partition.
If someone rushes out later, they can act immediately. Otherwise, if the second prince is injured, this problem will be big.
Pei Qian watched their actions, nodded, and then said, "Let's do it." ”
Several soldiers answered, and began to move the partition to the right.
Because there was no obstacle from the partition next to it, this time, this partition was moved almost easily.
With the movement of several soldiers, the partition was slowly removed.
The people next to him couldn't help but hold their breath when they watched the movement of the partition, and their eyes were fixed on the back of the partition, for fear that they would miss a penny.
As the partition was pushed open, everyone saw the true face behind the partition.
A swarthy, somewhat narrow black passage appeared in front of everyone.
Pei Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but whisper: "I didn't expect that there is really a secret passage here!" ”
Several generals couldn't help but clench the swords at their waists when they saw the secret passage, for fear that at this time, someone would rush out of it.
However, until the soldiers placed the partition on the other side, and the entire secret passage was completely exposed to the eyes of the public, the whole granary was still silent.
The generals still didn't say anything, they listened carefully, trying to find a trace of unusual sound in the secret passage.
However, there was no sound at all.
No matter how quiet they were, the secret passages still stood there as quietly as they were, as if they didn't exist.
"No one ......," Lu Fei whispered to General Meng.
General Meng looked at the black and steep entrance of the cave, stretched out his hand, and commanded softly: "You guys, bring weapons, follow General Ben, go in and have a look." ”
Lu Fei was slightly stunned when he heard General Meng say this, but he quickly reacted, and then said, "General Ben will go too." ”
They don't know where they lead, and they don't know what danger awaits them. If General Meng is left alone, if something happens, what will happen?
When General Meng heard Lu Fei say this, he frowned a little disapprovingly, and said, "I'll just go, what are you going to do?" The barracks can't be left unmanaged, the soldiers are there. ”
Lu Fei retorted: "Aren't the other generals there? How can it be said that there is no one? What's more, there's not much going on lately, and I can't let you go on an adventure alone. I don't know what's in there, it's too unsafe if you go alone. ”
Several other generals also nodded and said, "Yes, General Lu is right, General Meng is alone, it's too unsafe, it's not appropriate." If you go together, you will also be taken care of. Leave the affairs in the barracks to us, you can rest assured. ”
Pei Qian next to him saw that they had already chatted to themselves, and he didn't ask his opinion at all, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"Don't quarrel, this prince will also go with you."
Several generals were stunned when they heard Pei Qian speak.
After a while, Lu Fei said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "The second prince is a daughter, there may be many dangers hidden behind this secret passage, why don't the second prince stay in the camp?" ”
"This prince has made up his mind, you don't need to persuade him."
